A former Army captain who commanded the unit of Beltway sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad said the soldier he knew as John Allen Williams "was a screwball then and a screwball now."
Muhammad, 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17, are charged in a series of sniper attacks in the Washington area that left 10 people dead and three injured.
Former Capt. Rick Martin, the executive officer of the 84th Engineer Company in the early 1990s, told Thursday's Chicago Sun-Times that Muhammad was a poor soldier at best who once exploded a grenade inside an Army tent and stole an M-16 rifle.
Martin, a salesman for Explicit Marketing who lives in suburban Lincolnshire, said he would give Muhammad a score of three on a scale of 10 in assessing his ability as a soldier.
"He was a screwball then and a screwball now," Martin said. "He was not a good soldier."
Martin said Muhammad, who went on active duty in 1985, was a sergeant and had three other soldiers in his command in 1990. They were assigned to clean the unit's weapons, one of which disappeared.
"You don't lose a weapon in the Army," Martin said. "This was a big deal."
The missing M-16 was found in exposed insulation in a dormitory. Under questioning, Martin said, Muhammad admitted he had hidden the weapon. Muhammad later was transferred from the base in Bayreuth, Germany, to Nuremberg, where he was assigned to truck maintenance.
He was reassigned to the 84th Engineer Company when it deployed to Saudi Arabia before the Gulf War, Martin said.
'Chip on His Shoulder'
Martin said Muhammad "had a chip on his shoulder" and other members of the company avoided him.
In 1991, Martin said Muhammad pulled the pin on an incendiary grenade in an Army tent on the Iraq border, probably because of a grudge he held against another soldier.
"Someone yelled, 'Fire!' and his platoon scattered out of the tent," Martin said. No one was injured. Muhammad was arrested after the pin was found near his bunk, but Martin said he did not know whether any disciplinary action was taken.
The Muslim terrorist suspect was honorably discharged from the Army in 1994.
